I am also sceptic, but weather events alone do not count, it is about the general average temperature over the years, and the trend is obvious.

Before the weekend there were -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit) here with lots of snow and ice rain, since sunday there is intensive sunshine with +20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit), within two days, in february. The sudden changes are crazy.

Humans do not look far ahead in time, seems the brain is also incapable of doing so. This is not the article i looked for, but it illustrates a bit. There is a cognitive bias against the future, and this is why denial is generally preferred to thinking ahead.
